Last night, the FDA announced groundbreaking new policies to further increase testing over very substantially.

So no all states can now authorize tests developed and used within their borders in addition to the FDA.

Adverbs of degree

They have been involved from the beginning, but we're stepping it up as much as we can and the testing procedures are going well on within a short period of time.

I think it's gonna be incredible if it's done properly, and these great cos he's there among the greatest companies in the world, actually, So the state's gonna be dealing threw themselves and with local government, local physicians, local everybody.

But we have a tremendous testing capacity today.

We're also announcing a dramatic expansion of our Medicare.

Tele Health Service's Medicare patients can now visit any doctor by phone or video conference at no additional cost, including with commonly use service is like FaceTime and Skype, a historic breakthrough.

In addition, states of the authority to cover Tele Health Service's for their medical patients.

And by doing this, the patient is not seeing the doctor per se, but they're seeing the doctor, so there's no getting close during this time.

Penalties so that doctors congrats Lee expand care for their patients using telehealth so the penalties won't be enforced.

We encourage everyone to maximize use of telehealth toe limit exposure to the virus.

It's been a very successful method of communication, but never used on a on a scale like we're going to use a telehealth and you'll be able Thio also better maintain hospital capacity by doing this.

Earlier this morning, I spoke with executives from America's fast food industry.

Wendy's, McDonald's, alot of the big ones, Burger King Uh, and they were great.

In light of yesterday's guidance, you heard to avoid eating or drinking at bars.

We discuss the important role that the drive through pick up and delivery service can play in the weeks ahead.

So that's happening and they have been fantastic.

They have been absolutely fantastic and they've been doing it already but they're keeping it open and smaller staffs, very capable people and very capable companies, and they're doing it.

Our guidance yesterday urges Americans to take action for 15 days to help stem the outbreak.

I guess now would say it's a 14 day period, 15 days from yesterday and we're asking everyone to work at home a possible postpone, unnecessary travel and limits social gatherings to no more than 10 people.

By making shared sacrifices and temporary changes, we can protect the health of our people, and we can protect our economy because I think our economy will come back very rapidly.

If we do this right, our country and the world, frankly, but our country can be rolling again pretty quickly pretty quickly.

We're giving relief to affected industries and small businesses, and we're ensuring that we emerge from this challenge with the prosperous and growing economy, because that's what's going to happen.

One day, we'll be standing possibly appear, will say, Well, if we won and we're gonna say that, sure, as you're sitting there were going to say that today the Senate has taken up Corona virus legislation that includes retesting for those who need it as well as paid sick leave and family medical leave for work is affected by the virus.

We're also committed to getting small business support that they need, in fact, one of the things we talked about with the fast food operations.

We spoke to the chairman and CEOs of all of the companies.

But one of the things we discussed is exactly that getting small businesses support and flexibility that they need for themselves and for their workers.

And that's being worked on right now at my direction.

Secretary Mnuchin is meeting today with senators on additional stimulus packages.

I can tell you who's meeting with them late until the night last night and, uh, for a big part of the day yesterday and tremendous things are happening.

There's great spirit, tremendous spirit, and I can say that for Republicans and Democrats.

I could say that with respect to Governor Cuomo, we had a great talk this morning.

We're both doing a really good job and we're coordinating it and we agree, you know, different states need different things.

And we We agree on that 100% but with a very good talk.

And I think we're right down the same track.

President, you refer to just a short while ago about politics.

In your address to the nation, you said we have to put politics aside, stop the partisanship and unified together, Um, this morning you criticize the Democratic governor of Michigan.

Yesterday was a Democratic governor of New York.

You talked to detect Biden in fact, every day except one.

Since that address, you've lashed out at a Democratic leader.

And therefore I did do that, And I will continue to do that if they're not gonna play fair because, you know, they have the media on their side.

And if they're not gonna play fair are going to do that.

If they are gonna play fair, there's gonna be nobody.

There's gonna be nobody better than Donald Trump in terms of bipartisanship.

But if If they're going to say things that are false.

Like the story that was written yesterday.

A lot of people I don't know, somebody, uh I think I know who.

But they tape the conference call that I had with governors was a good call.

They handed it to various people that one of it was The New York Times and the New York Times chose to write totally, inaccurately about it.

Was bad journalism, but, you know, they do a lot of bad journalism, but we respond to that, and actually, people get it.

No, I wanted to be bipartisan, and nobody is gonna be better than me.

But when they attack me or the people, these incredible people behind me, I'm not gonna let him get away with that.
